It has been said that history is but a record of human events. So the history of Watsontown is a record of the activities of the men and women who lived their days of usefulness and died in our midst. The aims and aspirations of the men who owned and developed this ground, who laid it out in lots, who developed our resources, built our industries, constructed our public works and transformed this bit of Pennsylvania from a wilderness into a healthy and prosperous hive of industry, constitute the history of Watsontown.

Surely those of us who have added our mite to the building of this ideal community can, with pardonable pride, say: "If you would see our monument, look about you".

Watsontown PA offers residents and visitors plenty of different things to see and do. Close enough to experience the comforts of urban life, yet small enough to offer that friendly home town spirit.
